Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Chicago Freedom Movement (Smithsonian)
This image taken by Bernard J. Kleina depicts civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at an event during the Chicago Freedom Movement. In this image, Dr. King, Jr. appears to be preparing to deliver a speech of some sort. King, Jr. is known for his prominent delivery of speeches during the civil rights period, but rarely were they documented in color; making this image a rarity for most. In this photo, Dr. King, Jr. can be seen with a subtle smirk, looking down at the podium. In front of him are a variety of microphones, and behind are several African American spectators.
